This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for south central Nebraska and
portions of north central Kansas.
.DAY ONE..Late This Afternoon and Tonight.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect through 10 PM for Nebraska
counties in our forecast area mainly along and north of a line
from Lexington, to Minden, to Hebron...due to the likelihood for
at least a light glaze of ice from freezing rain. For counties
south of the Advisory, including parts of north central Kansas, a
touch of very light freezing rain and possibly some patchy slick
spots cannot be ruled out this evening, but due to slightly warmer
temperatures and lower potential for any precipitation to occur
at all, these areas are not included in this Advisory.
Also overnight tonight into early Saturday morning, at least
light fog will likely develop within parts of our forecast area,
but overall most favoring our southwestern quadrant...meaning
mainly those counties located along and south of Interstate 80,
and also west of Highway 281. Should fog develop, patchy dense
fog reducing visibility to around 1/4 mile cannot be ruled out.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
The probability for widespread hazardous weather is low.
